I too was told that her2 is not hereditary ( Brac 1/2 ) however with that said for those of us who are triple positive and strongly so ( er/pr) all bets are off on that one and a gene test should be done.
If it comes back positive for braca 1/2 then taking the ovaries out is a "no brainer" to use the oncs language. If it does not come back positvie then the choice is not so clear.
these are the exact isues i am wrestling with now.
Also, there is only one lab in the country ( out in colorado, I beleive ) so it does ot matter who draws the blood - however the counselig which is mandatory does matter.
there are alos other inplications to thik about when doing the testing. if it comes back positive -life insurance? medical insurance etc.
